5 thoughts on “Questioning Jinnah”

Hello,
I made a mistake which I must correct.
In his reply to the second question – “Stree ma vakhanva layak sadgun kayo?” (what are the qualities a woman should be admired for?) – Jinnah replied “Vafadari” (loyalty), and not vrudhdhadari, as I had misread.
My apologies to Mr Hasan, and his readers.

This is fascinating. It sort of disturbs me to realize that several of his responses are identical or nearly so to those I would have given to those questions–even as recently as a few years ago. Monte Cristo is gold.

Once I inquired Cowasjee (Dawn Pakistan ), How come Jinnah carved a smaller secular country from a big secular India.Cowasjee responded as below

“He did what he could to make a homeland for the Muslims who he feared
would
not be able to compete with the majority. Not confused – merely used
expediency.

From the above nuggget, from 1916 it seems like poor guy(Jinnah) was just trying to meet his own need of being liked and admired by a lot of people(now 160 million and counting),evrything else in which he plated a role was incidental to it!
